Governments should spend more money on railways rather than roads

It is argued that whether authorities should focus on developing railway lines for high-speed trains between cities or investing in renovating existing public

transport

. While many people concur with spending on public

transport

, I would argue that constructing new railway systems

more beneficial. On the one hand, there is no denying the values and benefits of public

transport

such

as buses and the fact that they need to be upgraded.

Firstly

, not only do buses have multiple pick-up stations, which are all close to residential areas, they require only a small fee for transportation.

This

has enabled many farmers and poor people in developing countries

access to travel.

Secondly

, the majority of people use these systems to travel. Take Vietnam,

for instance

, it is recorded that 80% of public

transport

users prefer buses. For these reasons, many people believe the national budget should be utilized in enhancing public

transport

for the community.

On the other hand

, the erection of railway systems for fast trains will alleviate traffic congestion and provide a speedy as well as reliable system. Rail communication is said to be safer, faster and more convenient due to the fact that trains can carry a great number of passengers and cargo at the same time and can achieve

much higher speeds

a much higher speed

than cars or other vehicles.

Furthermore

, high-speed

train

systems have already proven their efficiency and capability in many countries.

For example

, the underground metro system in the USA has contributed vastly to the overall

transport

system in the country. In conclusion,

although

there are many reasons to improve the existing public

transport

, it seems to me that it is more advantageous to allocate more money to build
